1. Finally got to meet my friends Nora and Jill (and lots of other lovely ladies who I adore!) in DC. I had a great weekend and it was so nice to get away, see a new place, and meet up with some amazing friends.
2. Tommy and I spent a long weekend in New York. It was our five year wedding anniversary trip and the first time we had left the kids and gone away like that. It was definitely a highlight of my year...mostly because I got to reconnect with Tommy and spend some time in a city I love.
3. We went to Nova Scotia for our annual summer vacation. We rented cottages with our some of our best friends. All of the kids got to spend time on the ocean in the east coast..and spend time with our fantastic families who we don't get to see often enough.
4. Reed turned 3 and Penny turned 2...Both of the kids potty trained this year which was full of ups and downs:)
5. Reed has really changed and turned into a little boy with a huge imagination. He started preschool and loves it. It is a co-op so I go and help out a couple of times a month. I really enjoy the time with the kids too.
6. I started looking after my niece Summer during the day while my sister in law is at work. It was chaotic, and hilarious, and really a whirlwind...my kids are lucky to be able to spend so much time with a cousin. We were always with our cousins when we were growing up and I loved it.
7. Penny started talking in full sentences and never stops talking...she gets that from me...
8. I was an exhibitor in the One of a Kind show again. I was really lucky and they used my work in the marketing campaign for the show. I got some great exposure and the show was wicked. I sold out of several of my products and accepted orders for after the show. I had my work in some newspapers, on TV, on blogs, and in Today's Parent magazine. Honestly, it was insane!!!
9. I went to the ballet for the first time in Toronto with two of my best friends. The ballet was cool...but spending the day shopping and then spending the night in a really nice hotel with them was what made it awesome.
10. And to cap off the year, we had a really nice Christmas at home with the kids, and Tommy's immediate family.
And 2012's list is going to be amazing too....
Glad that Summer and I are apart of your top 10:)
